Let I=[0,1)I=[0,1). The sawtooth (Bernoulli shift) map F:IIF: I \rightarrow I is defined by

F(x)=2x[mod1]F(x)=2 x[\bmod 1]

Describe the effect of FF using binary notation. Show that FF is continuous on II except at x=12x=\frac{1}{2}. Show also that FF has NN-periodic points for all N2N \geqslant 2. Are they stable?

Explain why FF is chaotic, using Glendinning's definition.
